Product Security Specialist II
Product Security Specialist II
Safe Software is hiring a Product Security Specialist II to join our Information Security team. In this role, you’ll help ensure the security and integrity of our products by supporting vulnerability management, reviewing third-party components, and contributing to product security operations throughout the software development lifecycle.
This position is well-suited for someone with hands-on experience in product or application security who’s ready to take ownership of specific areas, work independently, and help improve tools and processes as we grow. The role is remote-friendly and focused on practical, sustainable security practices and continuous improvement.
About the Team
At Safe Software, the Product Security team plays a key role in protecting our products and maintaining customer trust. We work closely with engineering teams to integrate security throughout the development process—from defining secure coding practices to managing vulnerabilities and assessing supply chain risks.
We also lead developer training initiatives, support compliance with industry standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and promote the use of automated security testing. Our team fosters a collaborative and security-conscious culture that supports innovation without compromising safety.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Product Security Specialist II, you will:
Monitor, triage, and analyze vulnerability findings from commercial and internal tools, distinguishing true positives from false positives and duplicates.
Assess vulnerability impact in the context of Safe’s products and architectures, and document findings clearly for engineering teams.
Own vulnerability findings through investigation, prioritization, and handoff to development teams.
Maintain and update metadata used to track third-party dependencies and software components.
Conduct security and compliance reviews of third-party libraries and vendor components, including licensing and known risk signals.
Respond to internal and customer-facing questions regarding vulnerabilities and product security posture.
Assist with security questionnaires, audits, and other compliance-related inquiries.
Identify opportunities to improve or automate vulnerability monitoring, triage workflows, and tooling efficiency.
Qualifications, Skills, and Competencies
At Safe Software, we welcome diverse backgrounds and experiences. While not all candidates will have everything listed, the most successful candidates will bring many of the following:
What We’re Looking For:
1-2 years of experience in product security, application security, or a closely related cybersecurity role.
Solid understanding of common vulnerability classes and secure development practices (e.g., OWASP Top 10).
Experience working with vulnerability scanning tools, particularly software composition analysis (SCA) tools.
Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, or analysis.
Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret noisy or incomplete data.
Clear communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
A degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have:
Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, or similar).
Experience in SaaS or product-focused engineering environments.
